Bloomin' 'eck fossil boots! You need to put a brief history of your time in them for when they are dug up one day.
I'd be interested to read any article you put on here regarding palaeography or genealogy and I'm sure others would too.
I did the Ancestry DNA thing - I'm 4% Norwegian, fascinating! My ancestors were agricultural labourers in Leicestershire so Danelaw stuff I expect, viking raiders and all that.
Anyway nice to know the boots have been preserved for posterity.
